LightHeaded

LightHeaded is a very simple addon that displays quest information and comments from http://www.wowhead.com in game, eliminating the need to Alt-Tab when you get stuck on quest. This addon was inspired by qcomments and wowhead_quests, which both serve a similar purpose. Data is only loaded when you first request it, so you can be sure you're not using more memory than you need to.

/lh autodetails - Toggle automatic opening of the Lightheaded window when clicking a quest in the objective tracker

LightHeaded now includes the English descriptions and introductory text for most of the quests in the game. This is disabled by default, but can be enabled for those players that are not playing in their native locale.

IMPORTANT: Addon authors that wish to use this API and data should
include the wowhead logo in the frame that displays this information.
They are kind enough to let me continue parsing their database, and we
owe them at least that much. Thank you.

Thanks for using my addons!

Donations:
Some people have asked, so here is a way to send me donations:

- We now are able to properly reverse WowHead mapFileIds to the in-game
areaIds, so waypoints should be set in the correct zone.
- We don't know how to set a waypoint in an instanced zone, so we just
put those in the current zone
- Integration with MapNotes, Cartographer and friends always set in the
current zone.

Originally posted by Astera I was experiencing the blank LH frame as well but managed to track down the problem (for me atleast). I use LH, DW and TT as suggested by Claid but by default my quest log/ DW overlap the LH frame which forces me to detach the LH frame so that I can pull it out into view. When I do that it is fine but if I relog it causes my LH to appear blank. I can fix it by reattaching the LH to my questlog frame. Once I do that the LH reappears and I can detach LH just as before and LH still appear until I relog again. Not a huge problem for me but something to be fixed.

Okay.. someone else reported this issue, I'll look into it.

Originally posted by JJohnson1988 Nothing is selected in the log, or can be selected, as I have no quests in my log. And yes, this is enUS.

Oh.
Get a quest in your log, and I'll fix the bug that happens when you have none. Deal? =)

Originally posted by JJohnson1988 Same issue, disabled everything except LH like you said. On another note, two lorem ipsum paragraphs are displayed in the LH pane when I get the error.

So, with every addon disabled.. you still get this error? Whats selected in the quest log at that point? This is enUS?

Originally posted by Cladhaire No it doesn't sadly. Would you mind disabling all addons except LH and see if it still happens.. if it doesn't, then enable addons until it fails? This error shoudln't ever occur-- that's why I'm boggled :P

Originally posted by JJohnson1988 Disabled CTMod from loading alltogether, and I get the same error. The error repeats itself when I close the LightHeaded tab from the QL and reopen it again. Hope this helps =)

Originally posted by Cladhaire Can you reliably repeat this? It happens every single time? If so, could you disable CT_Mod quest levels (just uncheck it in the options) and see if the issue continues after reloading. When I coded support for Gazmik's Levelator, I could have broken CT_Mod's stripper.

Originally posted by Cladhaire Your default quest log? Do you have an addon which provides stack traces (or could you download one, such as Swatter/BugSack?). I'd like to knwo _where_ this error is coming from, since the only way this happens is if someone runs :UpdateFrame() without a title argument.
